Today the guitarist Daniel Ash of the pioneering band Bauhaus celebrates his 55th birthday.
Any excuse, really, for me to play one of the greatest of all "Goth" songs, Bela Lugosi's Dead!
White on white translucent black capes
Back on the rack
Bela Lugosi's dead
The bats have left the bell tower
The victims have been bled
Red velvet lines the black box
Bela Lugosi's dead
Undead undead undead
The virginal brides file past his tomb
Strewn with time's dead flowers
Bereft in deathly bloom
Alone in a darkened room
The count
Bela Lugosi's dead
Undead undead undead

ReplyDeleteWhyever not? My tastes are rather eclectic, you know - life isn't all Kylie, Liza, spangles and Disco... (Well, quite a lot of it is.) Jx
DeleteI'd never pigeonhole you thus - it was just a lovely surprise! :-D xxx
